Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how GoldenHour Gold LLC (“GoldenHour,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use the GoldenHour mobile app and related services (the “Service”), which helps people in the Chicago area discover verified happy-hour and restaurant deals.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Account: email address and password, or a Google or Apple account if you use Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple; an optional display name.
• User content: photos, captions, check-ins, ratings, favorites, and deal or restaurant-partnership submissions you create.
• Communications: messages you send us (e.g., support requests).

Information collected automatically

• Location: with your permission, your device’s approximate or precise location, used to sort deals by distance (“near you”) and show nearby venues. You can disable this in your device settings; the app still works, sorted by neighborhood.
• Device & usage: app version, device type, and a push-notification token (if you enable notifications).

Payment information

Subscriptions (GoldenHour+) are processed by Stripe. Your card details are entered with and stored by Stripe — we do not collect or store full payment card numbers. We receive limited billing status (e.g., active, trialing, canceled) to unlock premium features.

2. How We Use Information

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service and its deal listings;
• Sort and recommend deals by distance and relevance;
• Manage your account, subscription, and entitlements;
• Send push notifications you opt into (e.g., new or starting-soon deals);
• Moderate user content and enforce our Terms;
• Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, and security issues;
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it with:

• Service providers that run the Service on our behalf: Supabase (authentication, database, and photo storage), Stripe (payments), Expo (push notifications), Google (if you sign in with Google), and Apple (if you use Sign in with Apple).
• Other users: content you post to the community (photos, captions, ratings, and your display name) is visible to other users.
• Legal & safety: when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the Service.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

4. Your Choices & Rights

• Location & notifications: manage permissions in your device settings at any time.
• Access & deletion: you can delete your account from Profile → Delete my account, which removes your account, favorites, posts, and check-ins. You may also contact us to exercise applicable rights.
• Subscription: manage or cancel anytime through the Stripe customer portal.

Depending on where you live (e.g., California or the EU/UK), you may have additional rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us at support@goldenhourgold.com.

5. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information, except where retention is required by law.

6. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards (encryption in transit, access controls, and a managed backend) to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Age Requirements

The Service relates to happy-hour and alcohol-related promotions and is intended only for users of legal drinking age (21+ in the United States). The Service is not directed to anyone under 21, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice within the app.
